Experiencing troubles with past Zmud targeting system, please help
|
#var target "%proper(%0)"
#cw @target orange
#echo You focus your skills on @target
then I make another alias that is just t with the name being target
so then when I attack someone I can do t billy which will do you focus your skills on billy
then I allow myself to make a vast majority of aliases like swing @target
Please anyone have any ideas how to fix this? This is what I am currently getting.....
4000/4000h 188/500m > You focus your skills on %proper(%0) |

In CMud anything in "" will be translated literally. Remove the "".

Well that got rid of the other message, but I still can't target anyone. Now I get this if I type t billy
You focus your skills on
this is the new aliases
#var target %proper(%0)
#cw @target orange
#echo You focus your skills on @target
then when I do this
#var target {%proper (%1)}
#cw @target orange
#echo You focus your skills on @target
I get this result
You focus your skills on () |

In this line, you have an extra space:
| Code: |
| #var target {%proper (%1)} |
It should be:
| Code: |
| #var target {%proper(%1)} |
And yes, I believe you should be using %1, not %0. %0 does not work. If you want all the parameters of the alias, use %params(). |

Okay I got the targeting issue solved, but now I am having issues with the people I am targeting showing up in my triggers orange.
so I do t billy and then t sally
billy remains orange and goes into my triggers as orange, but so does sally. Any ideas anyone? So basically when I type the who list to see the people present in the mud I have Billy as orange and Sally as orange. |

#var target {%proper(%0)}
#echo You focus your skills on @target
aha! What was happening is the second line kept putting the person into my triggers for whatever reason. Problem fixed |

This line
expands @target, so it makes a trigger with the pattern (for example) "Sally" and the script "#cw orange". What you want is to manually create a trigger in the settings editor with the pattern "@target" and the script "#cw orange". You only need to do this once, and then it will colour whatever @target is, without colouring previous targets. |
